And is the small fee the BIN you reckon? I was highly dubious until I noticed he actually had feedback for it.

    Hmm don't know how that works. If he has new PSPs why not just sell those. I would say that the fee was the BIN price though. Strange one indeed. :rolleyes:

    What a great idea!!

    I guess he fixes up old PSP's and resells them when he gets another old one in!

    It looks good but be aware nearly all of his sales for the same object are in the same place the seller comes from !!!

    Number one son asked how much PSP's were last night you see, and I always look in the local area first for stuff like this, so that I can collect if possible. Im also in Stoke you see.

    It confused me as he doesnt seem to be selling refurbed PSP's, so what is he doing with them? And how is he affording to send out brand new ones for £40?

    Shame DS hasnt got the cash together yet or Id contact him and ask if he sells refurbs.

    Common sense must say this is not right. £40 for a New PSP with Free courier delivery who also takes your broken PSP away.

    It does Freddy, but where exactly is the con?
  • I think it's fairly obvious that the phrase "brand new" should not be taken literally in this instance. However, if he is offering a working PSP in exchange for a broken one and £39.99, that sounds like a good deal, but I'd still be a little suspicious. If the courier looks like one of those guys off The Real Hustle, be afraid!
    It's interesting to see in his feedback that the same customer has apparently exchanged 2 PSPs.

    Well, I messaged him to see if he does refurbs for collection....
